Advice needed =]

Hey guys,

Basically, I have about 1-1.5k to spend and need some help. I currently have a 95 EG and am looking at putting some sort of sound system in, as the current one I have is stock :(

Any advice on recommended brands would be greatly appreciated. In my old car I was running Alpine Type R front splits and Type R 6x9, with a NESA headunit. Sounded crisp to me, but there was some skipping of tracks if I went over speedbumps too fast... didn't really like this...

This time I'm looking to run an amp and sub, want something louder and love my base. Doesn't need to be overly loud... not one of those 'doof doof' people.

Was considering Alpine CDA-9887 or Clarions DXZ786USB. Anything else I should consider? Also, I live in Melbourne... was just going to get it installed at JB but if you know some decent Car Audio specialists let me know.

Thanks guys :D

Garys car audio got some nice stuff, thers one in mitcham if ur in the east. Dont really trust ppl at JB....when i ask em for help or advice they just sort of stare blankly at me and point me to the most expensive stuff they have lol

was gonna write u a essay, but im not in the mood so now ill just say pop into one (or all) of these specialists..

freeway
tower
phatt
stylyn
hektik

btw, getting a 9887 is half your budget...

get the 9886, USB standard, 9887 you have to buy external box for USB. only saying that cause i see your looking at a clarion with USB...

Hey all,

Ended up buying an...

Alpine CDA 9887
Alpine Type r front splits
Alpine Type r 6's
Alpine amplifier (MRP M500)
Alpine Type r 12" subwoofer, with an enclosed Alpine box.

All up came to exactly $1,500 with wiring included. Not sure exactly if this was that cheap, but I'm happy with it =]

Now just need to look for somewhere to get everything installed...

hit up brett at performance car audio in bayswater. top bloke and good price

Found a pic of the subwoofer with enclosure I got, it's this one...
